[Gambas-user] Gambas fundation ?

[Nelson Ferraz]

> I want to create a sort of Gambas fundation to collect gifts.

Will it be a real non-profit organization or an informal one?

Some companies could donate significant amounts if they could deduce
that from their taxes; other companies could donate equipament and
services.

> For example, I could use the gifts to do the following :
> 
> - Buying VMWare.
> - Buying an ADSL access, so that I can download the last version of any 
> distributions. (I have a 56K modem)
> - Buying SuSE 8.2, or other distributions I can't download.
> - Debugging Gambas on all these systems.
> - ...

The most important: working full time on Gambas. :)

I think PayPal & Amazon are better solutions.
